Have you ever asked a question to someone in space? No? Well now’s your chance. In a first for the agency, NASA will host a Google+ Hangout live with the International Space Station on Feb. 22 from 10:30 a.m EST to 11:30 a.m. EST. Google+ Hangouts allow people to chat face-to-face while thousands more can tune in to watch the conversation live on Google+ or YouTube. This unique opportunity will connect you, our fans, with astronauts living and working on the orbiting laboratory 240 miles above the Earth.
During the event, several video questions will be selected and answered by astronauts on the space station and on the ground. Additionally, NASA will ask real-time questions submitted by our followers on Google+, Twitter, and Facebook.
Unique and original questions are more likely to be selected. You can view the Hangout live on the NASA Google+ page or the NASA Television YouTube channel to watch the astronauts answer the questions.
SUBMITTING REAL-TIME QUESTIONS
To ask a real-time question during the event on Google+ or Twitter, please use the hashtag #askAstro. You can also post a comment on a thread on NASA’s Facebook page that will open for questions on the morning of the event.
WATCHING THE GOOGLE+ HANGOUT
To join the hangout, and for updates and opportunities to participate in upcoming hangouts, visit NASA's Google+ page at http://plus.google.com/+NASA.
During the hangout, astronauts Kevin Ford, Chris Hadfield and Tom Marshburn will answer questions and provide insights about life aboard the station. Station crews conduct a variety of science experiments and perform station maintenance during their six-month stay on the outpost. Their life aboard the station in near-weightlessness requires unique approaches to everyday activities such as eating, sleeping and exercising.

There was about an 11 hour lag between Mrs Cheeto's Tweet and Cheeto's Tweeto that spread the blame to "many sides". Both sides don't scream racist and anti-Semitic things at people with whom they disagree. They don't base a belief system on the superiority of one race over others. They don't get into fistfights with people who don't see things their way. They don't create chaos and leave a trail of injured behind them.#Naziapologistscanfuckrightoff

Something seems to be very broken in G+ for me today. I'm getting alerts of notifications, but when I try to look at them, they vanish.Until things are fixed, if you need to get in touch with me, you're going to need to contact me via email (imagenoir@gmail.com) or phone me. (Mobile only, the landline is not in use.)

What she said. Time to organise, SF! Resist the Nazis while you still can!

Time to organize, San Francisco.

A right-wing, pro-Trump “Free Speech” rally was announced for San Francisco’s Crissy Field on Saturday, Aug. 26, and a counter-protest is already forming.

The group, Patriot Prayer, has already obtained its permits, according to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Some back and forth on the nitty gritty is still required before a final approval, but they’re essentially “in,” said Sonja Hanson, a spokesperson for the GGNRA.

A Facebook post claiming “Neo Nazis are coming to San Francisco” started to go viral Monday morning, which was posted alongside phone numbers for federal agencies responsible for granting permits for rallies at Crissy Field — a literal “call to action.”

Mayor Ed Lee’s hands are seemingly tied, as the protest is on federal land outside city jurisdiction. Still, he denounced the gathering.

“As the Mayor of San Francisco my primary responsibility is the safety and well-being of the residents of San Francisco. As such, I cannot condone a rally that incites hate, bigotry or violence,” Lee said in a statement.

“They will have their rally on federal land because the U.S. Constitution provides all of us the right to freedom of expression,” he added. “But as Mayor of this city, I say: Any message of hate is not welcome.”___What she said. Time to organise, SF! Resist the Nazis while you still can!

Does anyone in London (UK) have a VR setup that I could use? I don't have the computing power (or flat space) in London to get my own.

I had my first experience with one yesterday, and it did … very weird things to my vision (which has never before had stereo fusion, due to strabismus) which I would like to explore further as possible way to retrain my brain to do stereo alignment / fusion. Will try to write up in more detail later when not in travel-panic mode… though tbh I'm not at all sure I can describe the post-VR qualia.___Londoners?

The right-wing misinformation complex is busy attempting to spin a narrative that establishes a false equivalence between the neo-nazi alt-right and "antifa", or the "violent left". Don't fall for it -- the "violent left" as some kind of organized movement is a myth. This is why Trump condemned "all sides" instead of calling out the true culprits of violence (the alt-right) in Charlottesville. He's playing into this narrative so that he doesn't have to assume any culpability in legitimizing the alt-right movement, and it's absolutely disgusting.

US media pretend it doesn't happen, but the world sees how American police sympathise with the Nazis.—Anger over the how police responded came from all directions and intensified after the death of a woman struck by the car. Experts said police appeared outnumbered, ill-prepared and inexperienced."The worst part is that people got hurt and the police stood by and didn't do a goddamn thing," said David Copper, 70, of Staunton, after an initial morning melee at a park that when unchecked by police for several minutes.

A thorough and well-written short course in one of the parts of American history that (if your school was anything like mine) you never learned about: the Nadir, the period from roughly 1890 to 1930 where race took on its modern outlines in our country.

These people are the vile residue, the foul distillation, of every failed hateful rotten-tooth inbred ideology in history. Don’t let them hide. Don’t make excuses for them. Get them out in the open. Make them own it. They have jobs — some of them. They have parents and kids and neighbors. They have churches. The Constitution gives them a right to their hate, but not a right to be free of the consequences. Publish their pictures. Publish their license plates. Get them out in the open. Pull their hoods off. They’re standing out there shouting hate, flying the flag of treason, their arms upraised in the Hitler salute. Make them own it. Make them infamous. Don’t let them hide.

What has unfolded in Charlottesville, Virginia today is a national tragedy fueled by bigotry, white nationalism, and home grown terrorism.

Freedom of speech is not a license for the incitement of violence. And the neo-Nazis and KKK members who gathered are anathema to everything this country should stand for.

For too long President Trump was silent. But when he did speak his refusal to call out the hatred for what it is, and his general message of false equivalence was disgusting and counterproductive. "This egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides.” That's a dangerous misrepresentation of history from a politician who has bigotry as a large part of his base.

All decent Americans of all political persuasions cannot allow these actions to remain unchallenged - both the hatred on display in Charlottesille and the rhetoric of the President.___
